'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy' is a well known proverb, which perfectly fits the bill for a corporate sporting event organising company known as Game Changers in Delhi/NCR. They organise various sporting events in Gurgaon for official teams from corporate sectors. In due process, the passion amongst the corporate employees re-ignite, bringing back childhood memories, where they spent a number of hours playing various sports with their friends.

Nikhil Gulati,
CEO, Game Changers said, ''We started in August 2013 with the vision
of providing stress free solutions to corporate employees and pursue
their passion of sports, which exists in everyone of us from our
childhood.'' Right from our days in school, sports has been an
important recreational activity, which the students enjoy to the
hilt.

Gradually, after
passing out from school, one does not get much time to play as
everyone pays greater attention to their professional career. Very
few turn towards sports as their career and those who don't are
devoid of any sports activities. With such competitions in the offing, working professionals are given a lease of life via
various sports competitions. ''Till date, three cricket, two football
tournaments have been organised. Badminton and Table Tennis
competition have also been organised,'' said the CEO.

Sanjay Saini is
one such team member from UCOL, a Delhi law firm, which has reached
the finals of the cricket tournament scheduled to be played this
Sunday. ''With such events, we are able to re-live our childhood
memories, where we used to play so much,'' said Sanjay. The employees
enjoy themselves on and off the field, in spite of the competitive
nature of the sporting event. He added, ''It is time for us to have
fun as well.''

One does not get
much time to have fun while working due to the working pressure that
exists in respective offices, but participating in the event
reflects a complete different picture. Siddharth Chaturvedi, captain of VSPL, one of the finalist teams said, ''The event is very different from our
workplace, as in the workplace, we know what happens - daily routine,
same faces. But, while playing for our corporate team, we meet new
people and interact with them. It also gives a feeling of freedom.''

These sporting
activities are a perfect recreational activity for the employees as
well. After slogging hard during weekdays in the office, the
employees can come out and have fun on Saturdays and Sundays. ''On
weekend, it is time for us to chill and relax. Playing in the event
helps us in recharging our batteries and also reduces the stress
levels,'' said Siddharth.

Apart from
acting as a stress buster, playing together as a unit can also be
treated as a team building activity. Here the office hierarchies also
goes for a toss, as even the bosses mingle well with each and
everyone, which may not necessarily be true during the office hours.
Sanjay said, ''Even the bosses play with us, during which they are
also very friendly. They are also like us (employees).''

Some
employees even bring their family members together and they treat the
event as a family outing. In this manner, they strike a right balance
between family members, their passion and colleagues as well. The
participants treat the event as re-energiser for the long work
pending in their respective offices.
